Three red cards in three matches perhaps shows there is more fight in the camp and they are going to need it to salvage anything from this sorry campaign.

The team is desperate for further reinforcements, with Moore looking to bring in two more loan signings this week ahead of the visit of Cheltenham.

The three that have arrived so far look to have improved the first team but it is no surprise Moore is struggling to attract further players given the current plight.

Harrison wins the majority of his headers and clears the ball well, fully committed, he will make mistakes but he is a far better fit at centre back than Matthew Bates.

Tshibola was given the freedom to roam and his first touch was always a positive one, looking to build an attack.

A physical presence, he did the job that Brad Walker has struggled to do this season.

Up front Moore started the pacy Bingham as a lone frontman, supported by Jonathan Franks and Jack Compton on the wings in a new-look formation.

Or at least that was the plan.

Bingham impressed with his hold up play and energy but he was restricted to just one meaningful attempt on goal – a late header that hit the post – because he was feeding off scraps.

Both Franks and Compton had ample opportunities to cross more but failed to take them.

It was Bingham that carved out his own chance to have the first attempt on goal.

His low scuffed sixth minute strike was easily gathered by Matt Ingram before Scott Flinders was immediately called upon to save Aaron Holloway’s powerful effort up the other end.

Wycombe then began to impose themselves.

Aaron Pierre headed over after beating Bates – deployed in the holding midfield position – from a free kick.

Holloway then burst through in the 16th minute after a stray Nicky Featherstone pass but after beating Harrison he tripped himself up and the chance passed him by.

Pools had competed well until Wycombe took the lead in the 37th minute.

Michael Duckworth was tackled in the Wycombe area by Peter Murphy and the home side broke at pace, Josh Scowen spraying the ball to Onyedinma who finished with aplomb – the ball flying past Flinders at his near post.

Wycombe’s half-time lead was almost doubled but Murphy’s header was ruled out for offside right on the whistle.
